1 John 2:18-20
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Children, Antichrists Have Arisen
18 Children, it is the last[a] hour. And just as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen— from which we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of [b] us. For if they had been of us, they would have remained with us. But they went out in order that they might be made-evident that[c] they all are not of us.
You Have God’s Anointing And You Know The Truth. Let It Abide In You And You In It
20 And you have an Anointing[d] from the Holy One, and you all have-knowledge[e].
